About Lauv

Ari Staprans Leff, known as Lauv, emerged from the bedroom pop era with a particular talent for crafting sad songs that somehow work in any context. His 2018 EP 'Feline' caught streaming momentum before his debut album 'How I'm Feeling' landed in 2020, anchored by sparse production and lyrics about feeling disconnected. He's built a catalog that reads like private voice memos set to beat loops—songs like 'Paris in the Rain' and 'Modern Loneliness' hit specifically because they're so conversational and understated. Beyond the bedroom recording aesthetic, Lauv's collaborations with artists like Troye Sivan and Julia Michaels have expanded his reach into more polished pop territory. His music operates in that weird middle space between meme-culture relatability and genuine emotional processing, which is probably why teenage fans have latched onto him so hard. He's never been cool in a conventional sense, but that's kind of been his brand all along.

Lauv shows are quieter than you'd expect—lots of phone lights out, people genuinely engaged with the words. He's a solo artist who commands a room without trying, which means the energy is contemplative rather than explosive. Crowds sing every word back to him.

Richmond road trip to see Lauv?

Stay in the Fan District, Richmond's most elegant neighborhood, where tree-lined streets and historic brownstones offer genuine character. Book a table at Mama J's or Edo's Squid, both understated and excellent. Spend your non-show hours at the Virginia Museum of History & Culture or wandering Maymont Park's formal gardens and James River views. The James River itself is worth a walk along Belle Isle. Post-show, grab drinks at The Bogart, a solid cocktail bar in a historic building near The National venue.
